The oil discussion continues. Rich Martin reports
Hi all, Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the mail list - I'm going to stir it up again! You may remember I posted a message that I wrote to Porsche in Stuttgart to get a definitive answer on the oil issue for the 928 model. So they've sent some info back which I have scanned for your perusal. I think it may start another argument. For me I think it's quite clear what is and is not recommended and in addition, the viscosity range that is recommended is pretty clear. Interesting I think you'll agree. Rich Manual S4 Note: - Although it says Boxster it applies to all Porsche 4 6 and 8 cylinder engines from 1973
